Park in the morning~Watery Wednesday~113011

Once again, I stopped by our local park in the morning before school. Now I've joined a group of friends who walk it after they get off work, about 5 p.m. However, none of us could make it tonight! I'm not sure when I like the park more...early morning or late afternoon. It's more crowded in the afternoon, but people stop there and feed the ducks, so there's more activity. Children play on the slides and climb the toys, but all is silent and still in the morning...Watery Wednesday for November 30, 2011.

Welcome!

Welcome to my southern California desert blog, "Deserts and Beyond". I live near Palm Springs, CA with my husband, 2 dogs, 5 cats, and a scrub jay who visits our front yard! We have 2 grown children and 1 grandson, whose birthday is the same as hubby's! I have 5 horses, all rescues, and I board them in our nearby mountains, away from the desert heat, but I LOVE to find interesting things in our desert. Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment!

My cameras

I don't have anything fancy. I have a Nikon D40x, which I LOVE and a new CANON EOS 7D, which I'm learning to use. I DO NOT use photoshop. What you see is what I photographed straight out of the camera!
